VERY GOOD.

Good cast, particutly Uhm Tae-Woong who i will add to my list of asian actors I admire. But even the pretty boys don't let the side down.

Some watchable moments but draggy aspects

There are some watchable moments in this sports drama about a judo athlete with some issues and a sports medicine doctor at the national training center for athletes. 12 episodes would have been enough. The romance was too laid back. They are grown ups and she acted so bashful barely kissing a couple of times. The limping doctor's romance with the coach was boring. The injuries training and slow romance felt repetitive towards the last half. Although the judo felt real there was so much competing against themselves instead of more at tournaments internationally. The paralysis injury was a bit too much - maybe just a broken bone would have been enough. Also the issue with the brother's death was irritating. The finale felt a bit underwhelming. Kim So Yeon of Penthouse is a convincing doctor lady. Nice to see her in a normal role. The actors are convincing as athletes - not the modern soft type actors.

Overall - an okay watch but not great. Fight for My Way is much better as a sports drama.
